[Q] Call Recorder

Is it possible to record voice during calling. It seems that Atrix 4G does not support this function, when i use API to record from mic,and get nothing. but
when phone is end, there is sound appears. Could anyone explain the reasons?
Thanks

Plenty of threads about this. Not possible because of privacy issues/laws. If you want to record calls, you need to have your phone on speaker and record with another device.

Sgs2 does it out of the box
Edit: I forgot that I never ran stock on my phone, it was included in a ROM. Apparently call recorder works with stock. Should be a way for you Atrix folks.

From what I understand this is a hardware issue implemented by Motorola because of privacy issues/laws at state and federal levels. I don't believe it's as easy as installing any app to enable this feature.
Of course it may be/is possible on other phones, but different manufacturers have different policies regarding items like this, and Motorola takes a hard line on call recording.
Also, many phones don't route the actual call through the OS by design, so an application running in the OS has no access to the voice module.
You can record calls on Google voice, but when you enable this in call the other person is informed by an automated message that call recording has begun.

Auto call recording on Lollipop yet?

Is auto call recording available on Lollipop yet?

Anyone even working of auto call recording for lollipop?

What's Auto Call Recording? Is that a specific app or you mean any app with the capability to record calls automatically? If it's the latter then Call Recorder by Svalex is working as usual on Lollipop. Can't say about other apps as I don't use them.

Some KitKat ROMs have auto call recording cooked into the ROM. It's not an app as such, is just activated by default.
I think Dr Ketan (an XDA user) has something to do with it.

Oh I understand. Sorry I can't say that, never relied on built in recorders.

dr keetans recird wirks on lollipop well it is on mine anyway?

Anyone tried call recording yet?

Anyone tried any call recording software yet?
Are you root/non root?
Which app do you use?
Does it record the audio stream or just what the microphone picks up from the speaker?

I use ACR - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr
It works perfectly fine to record both sides of the conversation.
The incoming audio is a little on the softer side but still very audible
I paid for the licensed version as well.

What config do you use???

Any way to kill that on going notification for ACR? I was going to disable it in the settings but it warns this might kill the app.

I disable it in the settings and it works just fine.
Just add ACR to your unmonitored apps under battery so that Doze does not kill the app

The best app so far - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder

What's so much better of it that it results in the $7 extra premium over ACR licensed version?
Serious question - may switch to it

1. The programmer communicates with you if you have a problem. I've written him over XDA a couple of times, and he has always helped me.
2. If the app does not support the mobile phone (new models on the market), just write to him and he looks at it right away.
3. Regular updates.
4. Many options for recording such as formats, filters etc.
5. When you start the app for the first time, the application will set itself the most suitable settings for that mobile.
6. You don't need to have root.
Look, I tried many apps, but Call Recorder is the first choice for me.

ACR does all that and I spoke with the developer when I got the S8 and he fixed the issue instantly and issued an update within hours
I may download the trial app and see how it works/looks

Wow, so might not need root after all!

Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus has more than 28 variants, some of them uses the Qualcomm MSM8998 chip, some of them uses the Samsung Eynos 8895 chip.
Boldbeast Recorder records calls crystal clear in two directions, from users' reports so far, all Galaxy S8 / S8 Plus variants work well, no root needed. Detailed information: https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1438-galaxy-s8-call-recorder.html

I tried Boldbeast but it does not record properly. It asks me to remove all other recorders, which I do not have in the first place. I even removed the default voice recorder, but it still asks me to remove other recorders. Strange. I uninstalled the app.

Most possibly, you enabled the OK Google app in your phone. OK Google is occupying the microphone, it is continuously picking up sound from the microphone to recognize your "voice command", and this blocks Boldbeast working. Please disable the "Settings > Google > Search > Voice > OK Google detection > From any screen" option in your phone, then it works at once.
About the "can not record any call" problem, actually there are 7 possible reasons, have a look at the [001] part in this page: http://www.boldbeast.com/android/call_recorder_troubleshooting.html
Test again, it 100% works.

Used to use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en
It quit working on my Galaxy S8.
I tried using Boldbeast as some people stated here but it didn't even record. No recordings where found.
I am using ACR as also indicated on here and it seems to be working for the moment.
I am using the AT&T Galaxy S8. do I have the one that doesn't support call recording? I was reasding on other forums and people are saying some S8s are blocked from recording calls.

Samsung Android 7 or Samsung S7 Android 6?

The Android Oreo update has impacted recording on some Samsung S8 and 8+ and all S9's. I've been a paid user of ACR for a year now and it's awesome, but even they are scratching their heads about this b/c it's impacting everyone.

Native call recording is the best, and free. But need root.

Call recording on Android 9

Have you managed to solve someone's call recording on Android 9?

Try call recorder by SKVALEX. Find it in Google play store. Works flawlessly on mine. I'm using Qualcomm snapdragon model. Cheers!

If not, just change your CSC to the THL and you will get a native call recording feature

So I understand that it is enough to buy Thai SIM, put it on the phone and it unlocks the call recording function?

Ended up being too much trouble. Pie. Reverted back to Oreo. Life makes sense again.

Cube Abr work on note 9 exynos but i cant figure out what are best phone recording audio source. There are
- voice comunication
- voice comunicatiiin software
- voice call
- voice call software
-microphone
The thing is that every source sims to had effect on interlocutors voice loudness and clarity. Please try all and report

Before I reverted back to Oreo, I tried this app. Along with the current state of ACR, the SKVALEX app also suffers from the exact same problem. It's not directly recording the other end, only using the phone's speaker to listen. So the voice on the other end is at a very low volume. Even when boosting the decibels in the app settings, it's not as clear and loud as when either apps were working whilst on Oreo. This also means that phone numbers still can't be recorded by either app. As stated by pop up messages inside both apps.
This may be fine for some but I don't think Pie and One UI is worth losing FIRM call recording capabilities. Along with other features we've come to rely on on Oreo.
Just my two cents on it.

don't be angry I am still bothering. I'm thinking about it. I'll put a Thai SIM on my phone. Thailand SIM unlocks call recording. if I return Czech SIM to my phone, the recording function will be locked again or not?

Cube ACR

I'm on unlocked stock and wouldn't want to do anything to risk Samsung Pay functionality, so still stick with Oreo?

how to revert back to oreo? Will I lose all my current data?? thanks for your guidance

Call recording in Android 9 (Samsung Galaxy S8)
No call recording app can record bothway voice calls on Android 9 unless the phone maker dialer provides inbuilt recording feature for a particular region. I have tried many on my Galaxy S8 but found no luck. Call recording is an important feature which is essential for millions. Google should open the relevant API so that the app makers can bring back call recording. BTW, Cube ACR couldn't do bothway call recording on my S8. The best call recorder was NLL's ACR for Android 8. It doesn't work for Android 9 though NLL published an unchained version. This unchained version also can't record bothway calls.

I have downgraded my galaxy s8 to Oreo from Pie to enable call recording. Now ACR (by nll) works fine like before. I am not going to upgrade to Pie again if google or Samsung doesn't open call recording API. Call recording is necessary for me like millions.

Call recorder by SKVALEX most certainly doesn't work on Android 9. I also have the Qualcomm model of the Galaxy Note 9.

SKVALEX worked on my note 9 up to the last Android v8.1.0 Oreo release, once it hit Android v9.0 pie it stopped, all call recorders did. Android removed call recording capability with pie. Sux, I hope someone finds a workaround for it because it was really handy, didn't need to write crap down when getting info or directions from someone.

How do I revert my Samsung Note 8 back to Oreo to get back recording feature?

Call recording?

Hi all
Having received my S10+ I realise my call recording app is not supported?!
I understand there is native call recording built in but it is disabled in the UK for whatever reason.
How can I activate it or better still, any 3rd party apps that work on pie for call recording?

This ^^
Want to know the same... If there's any way to enable native call recording.
I know there is a way to modify the cscfeature.xml file and enable it, however you need root for that.
Does anyone know if there's a non-root way to modify csc files?

try cube ACR it works for me no problem.

I don't own S10 + yet ... Waiting to buy it, if it could record calls ... necessary for my work.
Can anyone please try the Thailand SIM card trick?
This enables the native registration of calls on S8 ... S9 ... and Note also ... as reported on related threads here on XDA.
